I’m not sure whose Twitter feed has strong armed mine and taken over my blog page but I’m 99% sure I didn’t say any of those things.

I’d Wear That

Often times someone says something and you think it would be a great saying to put on a T-Shirt. That is what “I’d Wear That” posting is all about. Things that have been said that belong on a T. I’ll start out with a couple of mine. Feel free to add your own.

“Want a bigger tip? Ask for proof that I’m old enough to drink.”

“I’m fine settling but not to the point where I’d want to hit the person on a daily basis.”

“I’d like you better if our first date included alcohol.”

Name it ‘Rage’ and I’m All In

I have NO IDEA what ‘Rage’ is about. I have NO IDEA how you premiere a movie on mobile phones. None of this makes any sense to me at all. BUT here is what I’ve learned from the trailer:

1. I adore Eddie Izzard.
2. I am starting to adore Jude Law.
3. Items 1 & 2 make me aware I may have some “guys in women clothing” issues. Fast forward 10 years to me walking in on my until now perfectly normal husband (I’m not married yet so may be a bit optimistic on that 10 year thing), in my bra and panties.
4. From now on I will only allow my picture to be taken if it is in front of a very colorful backdrop and I’m lit with white light coming in at perfect angles in front of me. So I look like a pretty washed out vampire. Really. They all look amazing. Direct-ish white light is obviously the key to beauty and agelessness.

Well Said?

Headline from one of my online matches this morning —

“No hutchie mamas, No party girls, and No one who thinks there gods gift to man.”

A man who knows what he wants and has a less then firm grasp on his punctuation and grammar.

Philly Smells

I can’t believe I forgot to post about Martha leaving lovely So. Cal. I must have been stricken with grief. It’s the only answer.

Martha is off to Philly to take on the art world there. She has a few years of teaching and learning and then she says she is coming back. I hope the closeness to her family doesn’t seduce her into staying. Her nephews are cute little guys so it could happen!

Have fun and good luck Martha. Riggins (pictured as a baby in Martha’s lap) will miss you as will I!

Nothing Like An Emergency To Bring Out The A**holes

Since Wed. the “Station Fire” has burned up over 35,000 acres in the Los Angeles National Forest. I can see the flames now and then from my front yard. As I type the fire threatens the towers on Mt. Wilson which transmit all radio/tv for LA. About 1/2 hour ago it was confirmed that two firemen have died in their attempt to stop the flames. Today I went to the Pasadena Humane Society to drop of towels, food & $ for the animals whose human families are in shelters that they can’t hang out in. All in all, TRAGIC.
One of the buildings threatened, more so at the beginning of the fire, was/is JPL. I took the picture you see when I tired to go swimming at the Rose Bowl on Friday night but was turned away due to LARGE FLAMES. JPL is between the Rose Bowl and the flames you see. Not good. Burning down of JPL would be horrible.

Side note. I want to work at JPL. I really do. I think it would be so much fun and crazy exciting. That being said most jobs are for physicists and others who have crazy levels of schooling.
So I ask you … who hired the dipshit? I want to know. I want to know who was the hiring manager who that it was okay to hire the asshat. On Facebook JPL, who I follow on that and Twitter because I’m a loyal fan, posted a number of scary flame pictures. Many people commented, in general, wishing everyone well. Except Mr. Douchebag who wrote, “NO WORK TOMORROW, WOO HOO!!”. Despite his employment at the oh so famous JPL, he is too f*ing dumb to hide his profile so I found out he is a Financial Analyst for JPL. So not a scientist … but still … this guy got hired there? I’m horrified on behalf of NASA. Here was my response for all to see, “Did you just really “woo hoo” a major fire that took the lives of two firemen along with displacing numerous families from their homes? Really? THAT event just happens to keep you from working 8 hrs caused a “woo hoo”? I’m sure those whose lives are changed forever because of the horrible event tip their hats to you.” I hope he responds. I’m ready for a fight and can’t wait to take on this arrogant asshat nerd want-to-be behind the safety of my computer. Bring it chump.

Why the Mass Exodus?

I had lunch today with my good friend HC (remember names changed to protect the innocent). She is off on a new life adventure. I’m slightly jealous and slightly sad to see her leave sunny LA but I wish her and her fiance all the best! Rock that other coast HC!

** BTW I’m not okay that I’ll be saying this same thing in a few days about another friend. Why the mass exodus? Is there a meteor headed this way and no one wants to tell me? **
